India Plant Growth Regulators Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)
India Plant Growth Regulators Market Overview
India plant growth regulator's market size is forecast to reach US$104.6 million by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during 2021-2026. Plant growth regulators are chemicals that support plant cells' growth and isolation, organs, and tissues. They act as chemical messengers for intercellular communication in plants. Rapid growth in population along with growing demand for food production are the major factors driving the market growth. Growing preference for organic food and organic farming are also supporting the market growth for plant growth regulators. The rise in investment in agricultural activities in India and the presence of abundant resources for agriculture production are driving the demand for plant growth regulators. Cytokinins, gibberellins, and auxins are the top three plant hormones used in Indian agriculture and farming activities. Auxin and cytokinin play an important role in plant growth and the developmental process. The Indian farmers are more inclined toward agrochemicals and adopting bio-pesticides for crop protection. Growing usage of environmentally friendly plant growth regulators for better agriculture practices is further driving the market growth in India. However significant cost issues related to regulatory requirements and long approval period for new products are likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting
different industries; one of the few industries that were largely hit to some
extent was the polymers industry. The demand for food processing & beverage
polymers is moderate during the covid-19 crises. The food & beverage
industry is considered under essential goods, so the governments across the
globe gave relaxation to this particular industry. However, the food &
beverage industry also faced problems related to the supply chain, lack of
workforce, and lack of raw materials supply.

India Plant Growth Regulators Market Drivers:
Increasing organic farming activities
Organic farming is a farming technique in which plants are cultivated in natural ways. Farmers use biological materials, to maintain soil fertility in organic farming. According to the recent data published by the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, approximately 2.78 million hectares of farmland were under organic cultivation as of March 2020. Madhya Pradesh state occupies the leading position in organic farming in India. The state has registered 0.76 million ha of organic cultivation, which represents 27% of India’s total organic cultivation area. Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra account for 50% area under organic cultivation. The major organic crops grown in India are cereals, oilseeds, spices, tea, millets, coffee, dried fruits, and others. It is also mentioned that Sikkim is the only state to have fully organic farming in the country.
The rise in investment in agricultural activities
Agriculture is the
backbone of the Indian economy, and agriculture is the livelihood for the majority
of people in the country. According to
the data published by the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, approximately 58% of the
Indian population are directly involved in agriculture farming. The food grain production reached a record of
296.65 million tonnes during 2019-2020. The foundation also mentioned that India
